Grooming 101 Monday

Dear Dayre,

Monday ain't looking too good with the haze man!

😓 Can't wait to escape to Japan.

So happy cos the weather there is looking real good this week!!

The weather in Kyoto. Please remain like this! 🙏🏻

I took a day off today to schedule all my beauty appointments back to back!! Feels so good to accomplish everything in a day 😂

I got my nails done, my lash extensions touched up, and my brows waxed/trimmed!!! 🙌🏻

The last time I did my nails was in early June 😅 Lash extensions was July, and brows… I can't even remember! Thought that I'd go get myself groomed thoroughly before Japan 🙊 Makes my life easier (especially lash extensions)!

1. The Nail Artelier 💅🏻✨

As you know I've been going to TNA for the longest time and they are legit one of the best places for nail art in Singapore!! 😍

I was inspired by my upcoming Japan trip and asked @Jenrine to do a set of foil nails with floral motifs on it. Loveeee how it turned out, so so pretty!!!

The floral designs are actually stickers!! Looks so good, right?

😍😍😍

Me to my grp chat: "I'm so ready. Now all I need is a blue kimono." 👘

Did a simple pedi design with their promo nail art of the month too, super cute watermelon design! 🍉

Thanks @Jenrine! 🙆🏻🙆🏻🙆🏻

2. Graceous Japanese Lash Extensions!

My straggly looking lash extensions that have lasted me since July are now fully touched up and all fluttery and chio again!

Can you see the purple and blue accents at the ends? 👀

I've been going to the new Graceous outlet at Purvis Street!

TBH, after seeing so many different kinds of lash extensions on other people, I still think Graceous is number one! Their extensions are the most natural and yet very beautifully done at the same time!

They also last the longest.

My friend went to another salon that was offering lash extensions with a promotional price and all the lashes fell out after less than a week?! 😟

Selfie with the lovely Nao-san!

Post-session sleepy face lol I fell asleep as usual and was happily napping away until an angmoh came in for her appointment chattering away on the phone damn loudly and woke me up 😑

The full extensions cost $130, and first timers get 20% off if you quote my name! ^.^

Graceous Bugis is located at 26A Purvis Street (Level 3)!

It was only 5.45 when I finished my lash appointment so I decided to head down to Bugis+ on a whim to try my luck and see if the Benefit Brow Bar at Sephora was available for me to quickly get my brows in shape! 😍

I love hyper-efficiency man. Almost wanted to book a hair appointment at Salon Vim too but no time today 😟 But getting every other thing on my list done is pretty awesome too!

3. Brow shaping at Benefit Brow Bar!

The kind folks at Benefit sent me a VIP card that allows me to get my brows done at the Benefit Brow Bar any time so I thought I might as well give it a try!

Usually I trim my own brows since I'm too lazy to go down to salons. I have packages at Erabelle and Browhaus too but those are for tweezing and threading.

Benefit Brow Bar uses waxing, which I've never tried before!

Btw, there are quite a few Benefit Brow Bars located in Singapore, didyaknow?

There are Benefit Brow Bars at the following locations!

Benefit Cosmetics
Flagship Boutique, Westgate
Sephora ION Orchard
Sephora Ngee Ann City
Sephora Bugis+
Sephora Marina Bay Sands
Sephora VivoCity
Sephora NEX Serangoon
Sephora Tampines 1
Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1, 2 and 3 (Transit)

Before and After: From fuzzy brows to neat and well-shaped brows!!

Waxing is really fuss-free! It barely took me 10 or 15 minutes to get my brows done. Fairly painless too! I quite like the sensation of the warm wax on my skin. Hahaha am I weird?

I have sensitive skin though so my skin broke out in itchy rashes right after the waxing. But it calmed down in 30 minutes or so.

Now it's all good 😁

Brow waxing/shaping costs $24 at Benefit Brow Bar! I think it's recommended to book appointments on the weekends but weekdays are relatively okay for walk-ins!

☑️ Nails, check!
☑️ Eyelashes, check!
☑️ Brows, check!

Woohoooooo! Shall try to squeeze in a hair appointment tomorrow if possible 🙊

Randomly. Bought Laneige bb cushion refill bwahaha and conveniently koped these tiny sponge applicators from the Laneige counter aiyoooo they are so cute ✨

Ended off a nice day by bringing mummy out for dinner! ❤️ Daddy is overseas so mummy 闲空.

Throw in a selfie of Gina mummy and I from wedding dinner yesterday!

My dogs 😂 Love them to bitssss.
